I- DECEMBER 23, 1962 Merry Christmas For reasons hard to comprehend At Christmas-tide there is a trend To put one's greetings into verse; A few are .bad, and some are worse. Succumbing to this tempting call, We wish, good times to one and all. To those who labor for the poor, Or combat liquor's fatal lure ; To those who build and those who serve, To those who beauty do preserve, To all who cherish friendship ties, And those who never utter lies. The season makes our hearts feel warm And bolsters Santa's rotund charm. A smiling face, a greeting gay, Make miseries just facie away. So in this fine euphoric state There is no need to compensate For all the woes of all the world, We'll keep the list of sadness furled, And offer greetings of the season To ev'ryone in sight in reason. Republicans and Democrats Will fret no boos nor alley cats. The city's fathers, county court, Will get no sly or sharp retort. Our lecrislators, underpaid, Are herewith bidden, To make a graceful, courtly bow And don't delay, but do it now. We extend felicitations, To all who write Communications. To all who help put out the paper, We wish a special Yuletide caper. To one and all on TV screens,. .... We wish a wreath of Christmas greens. Announcers all on radio We wish a cheery, loud hello. To postmen, bending 'ncath their sacks, We wish surcease from dogs' attacks. May blessings of the season fall Upon the teachers, one and all. To salesmen in the stores, and clerks, We wish them pleasure in their works. To college students, home from school, We wish a meal to make them drool. We herewith speed a pleasant thought To everyone who feels distraught. To men who build the freeways wide, , A friendly wave at Christmas-tide. And those who live upon the hill In that big Manor, may they thrill To all the joys of this fine place, And wear their honors with good grace. For men in blue, who guard our streets, We wish a heap of Yuletide sweets, . And pray they never have to fight To keep our city clean and bright. At Christmas time our thoughts go back All through the year of woe and rack, But on this day we should recall The better things that did befall : To help that's given Without stint, The kind of news we like to print; Of friendly people, charity, Of kindness and fraternity; Of those who think the rights of each Must be protected from a breach; Of those who serve both God anil Man, According to our Maker's plan. The verse is done, the well runs dry, But one last couplet we To everyone who plants A joyous nineteen sixty E.A. Merry Christmas, John Merry Christmas, John W. Snider. We sinuie von out for this public greeting for a number of reasons, all Because vou are about to complete three terms as one of the best, courageous and effective ever had and it s had Because vou are completing a period of lead ership in municipal affairs which took you to the presidency of the League ot Oregon L ilies, service on its board, and service on a committee of the Amerian Municipal Association. DECAUSLI, without you, Medford probably would not have had the exciting and warm experience of its sister citv relationship with Alba, Italy, and the famous J elstar conversation. Because 12 years as councilman ami mayor is a long time for anyone to devote to largely thankless and unpaid public service. Because you also serve the state as chairman of the Board of Aeronautics, as you once served the Centennial Commission. Because you are a kind and generous man, with a wonderful family anil many loyal friends. Because without your pixy sense of humor, Medford would be far more drab than it is. Merry Christmas, John.

Matter of Fact - (c) New York Herald FROM RAMBOUILLET TO NASSAU Paris-Bcyond much doubt the strongest influence on Prime Minister Macmlllan's Nassau meet ing with Pres ident Kenne dy, . was the Prime Minis ter's unhappy recollection of his earlier m e e 1 1 n g at R a m b ouillct with Gen. de Gaulle. Alinp It is too early to say, as yet, whether Rambouillct was quite the decisive and de pressing turning point that it seems likely to prove. There is always thq chance that Macmillan will take Britain into Europe on almost any terms, despite the great risks which this will involve be cause of the Prime Minister's deeply eroded political posi tion at home. Yet the French government both hoped, and is inclined to believe, that Rambouillct was the beginning of the end of the British attempt to join the European Common Mar ket. iFTER a scries of bad sct backs in Parliamentary by elections, and with more than 50 Conservative scats partly dependent on farm voters, the Prime Minister mainly came to ask the French Presi dent for belter terms for British farmers. De Gaulle's reply to Macmillan, it can be slated on undeniable au thority, was a glacially polite negative. De Gaulle did not speak to Macmillan as a particular ly enthusiastic European. In deed, he indicated that his Interest in Europe had sharp ly declined, since Chancellor Adenauer's promise lo retire from office next year had put a future term to the de Gaulle-Adenauer brother act. He merely said that better terms for British farmers ran counter to French national interest. The plain truth is that Pres ident de Gnulle and most of those around him are no more eager to have Ihe Brit ish join the European Com mon Market than they were last year. British entry is now characterized as a "dilu tion" of the European Com munity, whereas the usual Gaullist formula last year was that British entry would cause "Europe lo lose its per sonality." That is I he only difference. VS LAST year, the French recognize that they cut not keep Britain out if the British choice to p:iy the full subscription fee of the Eu ropean club. But Willi good reason, the French believe they can prevent the sub scription fee from being pre ferentially reduced. Til is they still intend to do; and this Intention was strongly reaf firmed al Ramlmtiillet. The outcome al Ramlmuil let might well have been quite different if Tiime Min ister Macmillan had been willing to sacrifice the Anglo American partnership by of fering nuclear partnership between Britain and France. Such an offer, of course, would have run riiic.llv counter lo British nuclear commitments to Hie V. S. It would have been welcomed by Gen. de Gaulle, precisely be cause it would hae involved a brusque British change of political partners 1UT THE British Prime Minister chose not lo con ciliate the French President j by tearing up his stronc coin- j niitmouts under the Am:lo- j American nuclear exchange agreement. The French half expected M.tcniinao I d. iust this, alter the " prox e,-.,. lion" of the Skvbolt aftair. i Instead. Macmillan put the American partnership fnM ; Such is the background ' against uliuli the Nassau meeting most be seen Vt Nassau, the President and the PI MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON By Joseph Aliop Tribune Syndicate Prime Minister swiftly cast the controversial Skybolt on to the junkheap. The British were then offered Polaris missiles as a substitute. This offer was conditional, however, on British agree ment to make their proposed Polaris-equipped nuclear de terrent a component of a fu ture multi - lateral NATO deterrent, when and if this kind of NATO deterrent can be brought into being. This condition was accepted. The Prime Minister is therefore being bitterly attacked in London for abandoning the content of a fully independ ent British deterrent. AT NASSAU, 'Gen. de Gaulle was also offered Polaris missiles on the same condition as the offer to Britain. This did not give de Gaulle what he wants, which is to be placed on the same nuclear footing as Britain by the United States. It also call ed on him to follow the Brit ish in making the French de terrent a component of the contemplated NATO deter rent, which is totally abhor rent to de Gaulle. One must assume, therefore, that the offer to de Gaulle was made with tongue in cheek Add up all these facts. The British effort to join Europe has received another sharp setback, although this might have been avoided if the Prime Minister had been will ing to sacrifice the Anglo American relationship. In addition, that relationship has been reaffirmed at Nas sau in a way that has actually deepened the Prime Minis ter's troubles at home. And under the guise of equal treatment, w h at almost amounts to a joke has been played on Gen. de Gaulle -who docs not like being a butt. in this pattern, it is hard not lo see the British Prime Minister clinging more than ever to his American con nection because he has begun to lose hope of joining the Eu ropean club. If this is the right interpretation, the trou bles between de Gaulle and Ihe "Anglo-Saxons" tas he calls Britain and the U. S.) are only just beginning.

It Is a joyous time of year. But how many of us forget what we really are cele brating? How many of us say Xmas, which takes Christ out of Christmas completely? How many of us buy things that are way out of our reach, just to keep up with the Jonses? How many of us think only in terms of material things, in stead of spiritual? After all, none of us really know when Christ was born. We presume it was in the spring, as they speak of tax time, but the Bible says we are to celebrate each day as Christ's birthday. God has given us so many gifts each day of the year just for the asking. These include freedom of worship, eyes to see His gractousncss, love, companionship, friend ship, faith, hope, charity, health and many more. But how many of us turn our backs on these gifts, as it would take work on our part to pass them on to others? As my family gathers around the dinner table on Christmas for the bountiful feast God has provided for us, there will be no exquisite or expensive gifts to pass to each other, maybe no gifts at all. just the brightly lighted tree to show it is Christmas. But we have been given the great est gift of all. We have been given Love, abundant enough enough to share with all we know each day we live. The Bible says Christ is Love. Without Love, there is no Christ. When we bow our heads in prayer, we have so many things to be thankful for, things money can't buy. There are so many things we can do each day of the year to help out someone less fortunate than us, that it's a shame that it is all left un done until one day of the year. Let us all put Christ back in our lives each day of the year and not just at Christmas. For get the expensive gifts, and put our hearts into helping others every day. God will richly. bless you for your ef forts you put forth if it is done because you want to, and not for the reward you feel God will give you. Clara Faye Pursel 1334 Beekman Medford. Christmas Story To the Editor: Many people wonder at this time of year, why do we decorate Christmas trees and give presents and goodies to the children? I guess the past is closer in my family than most because al though I am in my forties, my maternal grandfather would be 143 this year. My Ma, who lives In Jack sonville, is past 81 and her Pa was 62 when she was born. This story is one she heard from him many years ago. Many years ago in the mountains of Germany the people were pagans and wor shiped many gods, one of the most important of whom was a god of the forest. He was a vengeful and de manding devil - god whose spirit dwelt in a high fir tree high In the mountains, deep in Ihe gloomy recesses of an ancient forest. Every year in the beginning of winter the chiefs of the he advises us to take no thought for the morrow, to lay up no treasures upon earth? Would not the ecclesias tics among us denounce him as a ranting heretic because he cuts through the cords of ritual and commands ui only to love God and our neiqhbors? Would not the sentimen talists among us deride him as a cynic because he warns us that Ihe way to salvation ii narrow and difficult? Would not Ihe Puritans among us despise and reject 111!!! tlCl'lllW,. hf Oil. anri drinks will, publicans and sin-1 Sw?dl'h Y"' V1 , nets, preferring the company1 ,l0 ,he Editor: ule Is Ihe of winebibbers and harlots to ! 0,(1 'v,hc ""'"e for Christ that of "respectable" church ! mM 8,1(1 Sweden it was members'' 1 celebrated for centuries in Would not the sensual ' Prehistoric tunes to hail Ihe among us scorn him because I r01urn ' he sun.

This sacrifice was believed by all to allay the god's lust and thereby Insure the safely of forest travelers and wood cut ters for another year. Then one year a very saint ly Christian missionary came to this part of Germany, teach ing of Christ, brotherly love, the golden rule and compas sion. He converted many of the pagans to Jesus and soft ened their hearts. When that winter began the villagers had meetings and decided to send the bravest and best woodchoppers to the forest there to chop down the giant fir, home of the forest giant, burn it to ashes and thereby destroy all his power and evil forever. They attacked the tree with their axes, fired by their new found belief in the God of love and compassion, hacking and hewing until at last the tree came crashing down to eartn. Walking around the fallen god in wonder and awe of what they had done, they dis covered in the broken and decayed top of the old tree a small green b e a u 1 1 fully tormed young fir tree. The old god's home was burned to ashes. The wood cutters took the small tree back to the village and erect ed it in a place of honor in the square. They put many lighted candles in the branches representing the new light that Christ had brought into their hearts and gave presents to the children to show that good had re placed evil, Tim J. Horn Box 146 White City, Ore. Back Home To the Editor: and hello everybody. Had a bad time convincing 'em I was well enough to go nome; now I am trying to prove it to me. I've made stews, boiled eggs and made toast so far, by resting be tween times. My Chihuahuas greeted me with tails wagging. Over 400 cards and letters, many asking that I write to this column every day. No, I'm flattered, but I can write all I know in 20 minutes. I'd be an awful bore. Yep, I was feeling a bit sorry for myself but one of the books sent me had a poem entitled "Christmas Is in Your Heart." Sure enough, it's here a warm bundle of beautiful memories of other seasons. Thank you, friends, and I thank God for sending you to help me. None of us really need to feel alone. I stopped here to read Fri day's letters. I am disappoint ed on reading a letter against the Sacred Heart hospital. In any hospital comes times of rush hours when many pa tients arrive at the same time. First arrivals must be served first, especially if cases are severe. Nurses do their best, but someone must wail. I was there last month and I've never seen better service. I am not a Catholic, but each evening a kind Priest and a very sweet Nun visited me and they made a pleasant place in an otherwise long eve. In hospitals, as in life's liv ing, each must await his turn. Since the lady didn't bleed to death, I wonder if be smirching the hospital's good name made her get well quicker? Believe me, Dear, mud slinging isn't quite nice. You have done the Sacred Heart a Rreat injustice. Early in life, this gal learn ed that "I'm not the only pebble on the beach." Yep unquote. My slop dad said it. Pearl Spackman Box 3H Jacksonville, Ore. means wheel. The meaning was. that the mn had wheeled a turn around. In the Seventh Century word reached the Swedes about "Hvite Kris'." (the White Christ) and a daring Swede trekked to Rome to find out. After some years ne returned to Sweden as monk, authorized by the Pope ' Rome to preach the new religion. He took the name Ansgari as. But the Christian religion made slow progress for the first two or three hundred year in Sweden as the old Xor.-e religion with the three gods, Odin, Thor and Frcy. was deeply rooted.

The avowed pur pose of the re formers Is to change t h e rules so that the filibuster - the tactics resistance in whit of prolonged tended to prevent any con clusive vote on some passion ately resisted bill - can more easily be broken by a gag de vice called cloture. It now appears that with began to be practiced by the priests and monies. Before that the rune writing was used, carved in wood or hewn in stone. Of such writ ing only the words written in stone survive and naturally only a few inscriptions of such. However In those pagan days, Yuletide was cele brated, not for one day only but for two or three weeks, by eating drinking, dancing and carousals. I grew up in that country and can well remember 75 years back. They had an old saying -"Tjugonde dag Krut Dansar Yulen ut." Which means, Christmas Is over on the twentieth day. So Sweden remained Catho lic for 700 years, until around 1520 when the then Pope issued a rule lhat all priests must be celibates, and that priests who were married must give up their wives. The Swedish clergy rebelled and the king ruled in their favor. So the Pope lost his authority in northern Europe and wars were fought about it. But the spirit of Christmas remains. John E. Ring, 1049 West 11th st., Medford Thanks To the Editor: We would like first to thank the editor and staff of this newspaper for allowing us this oppor tunity to express our thanks to the people of the Rogue valley. On the 29th of November our house and everything in it was destroyed by fire. We are thankful that no one was home and no one was hurl. We'd like to thank those that came to fight the fire, and those that offered us shelter. A special thanks to the Amon Cathrins in whose home we have lived since the fire. I'd like to thank each of you personally, but many of you I've never met, so since that's impossible, we'll thank you this way for the food, clothing, linens, money, and the men who came and work ed on the dairy barn to "--.ake il livable for us. And anyone else who has helped us in any way. I give you, in the book of Mathew, chapter 25. verses 35 to 40 of the Holy Bible. Verse 40 says, "and the King shall answer and say unto them, verily I say unto you, inas much as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me." Merry Christmas and may God bless you each and every one. The H. L. McCormicks and Family Thank You, Santa To the Editor: It was the Saturday before Christmas and I couldn't find a onorf parking place anywhere in Medford. I finlly parked the car with Santa's reindeers. Donner and Blitzcn. Its a good thing .1 left the car un locked. While I was gone Santa left a bic hox nf home. made cookies in the front seat. Now what do you think of that? Thank you Sanla Claiu. Everett Acklin, Ashland, Ore. te3 Still The Cretlest Gift Of Alll S. Whit the arrival of the new Con. gress. the Senate will allow itself the luxury of struggling at great length over this ques tion: Shall the rules be changed so that three-fifths of the Senate, instead of two-thirds, as at present, can shut off all debate by cloture? Maybe thev will he rh.. ed; maybe thev won't R whether or not Ihey are chang. cd, this will be a phonv war For it will not and cannot settle the real problem here. THE REAL problem is how sar ana now last the Sen ate should go In adopting ex tremist - liberal maac,,A notably in the field of civil rights, which to manv mnH.n. ate people, quite outside the souin, are ill-considered, vin dictive and thus unsound. The real need of the forces which want to go very fast and far, indeed, will not be met by any change in the Senate's rules. Their true neepssllu 1. i change not the procedures of tne senate, but rather the general mind of the country, which is interested In n,.f.,i solution of the race Issue but not in the vehemently self righteous and unattai proposals of extreme libera. Iism. For even If the fnr. were able to alter the rule lo the supposedly magic three- nttns formula, they still would not be able to find three-fifths willing tn .i . gag upon opposition to ex treme measures. Three-fifths of the Senate will nnt ,nfA any more than two-thirds of me senate will vote, to si lence the rest of the upon anv bill which rannni or length produce a favorable public consensus In t h I country. ESSENTIALLY, the leading aavocates of rules change are motivated by a determi nation to press upon an actual maiorilv not a mere smith. em minority of the Senate legislation on civil rights which this actual majority is convinced would be both un workable and unwise. Reneatedlv MnahIp in rarnr the Senate on the merits of their case, they repeatedly have rpeniirsp InsfpaH tn trv ing to change the rules of the game. Their troub e is not that the rules are bad: their trouble is that their bills are bad. The fillibuster is in fact an almost-providential thing to the liberal extremists Anri if they ever managed totally to destroy it, they would ba Quite lost and most of thpin never re-elected. For it is a nandy alibi for their persis tent incapacity to legislate ef fectively. Thev can alwavs say back home that they tried awititty naro nut were lin ished off by that dreadful thing, "the filibuster." rPHIS happily conceals the - root fact that they never could have won anyway, fili buster or no filibuster, for a very simple reason. This is what a majority of the sen ale (entirely outside the south) distrusts, their violent emotionalism, and is not in any case prepared to permit them to dominate public pol icy on any issue so harsh, so complex and so tragic as civil rights. The moderate and reason able and controlling center simply will not follow the more or less professional civil rightists and southbalers men like Senators Wayne Morse of Oregon. Joseph Clark of Pennsylvania and Ja cob Javits of New York. This is not because this controlling center is "op posed" to civil rights. It Is be cause this center understands that the race problem in this nation absolutely demands careful and patient solutions of a kind absolutely foreign to the temperament of the extremists.
